    I am pretty skeptical of that number. As of a month ago, even the Russians were ‘only’ claiming to have inflicted 383 thousand casualties (https://tass.com/defense/1723781), which we can take as an upper bound on the reasonable estimates.

      Supposedly this guy just posts pro-Russian stuff and now I see why the accusations exist. Keeps trying to make it look like Ukraine are barely holding on for some reason.

        The week between Christmas and New Year’s it became clear to actual analysis that Russian logistics in Crimea were being blown to smithereens, so the Russians turned to terror bombing - you might recall a major aerial attack that happened a couple of days before new year that was mostly repelled by several layers of Ukrainian air defenses.

        I reckon they need to flood the internet with “you lose” doomer memes like this because Ukraine hasn’t fallen for it and neither have their Western allies for the most part. Russia lost at conquest and have wholly embraced terrorism.

    Lutsenko was the guy feeding information to Giuliani. He’s one of the reasons Trump was impeached (the first time), and his corruption is well documented.

    You’re relatively new here, so you may want to read the sidebar:

    “Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.”

    As of this post, you made 24 posts in the past 23 hours. Entirely too much, other users are complaining.

    We’ve talked about posting multiple sources on the same story, I’m going to go through these and remove similar duplicates.

    For now, I’m giving you a 3 day timeout. This group doesn’t belong to you. Go outside or something.

    @jordanlund

    I don’t think reports are syncing from kbin, but are you able to do something about this guy? 12 of the posts I can see on the front page are from him and aside from the clear single-topic spamming, it’s also misinformation to boot.

      But “Guest Author” seems super credible!

      Their cited source for this is a Russian propaganda network. The only other place reporting it is RT.

      There’s no fact check rating for Eurasian Times but all I can find is people mocking them for being a Russian propaganda outlet.

        I wish people wouldn’t repost russian propaganda everywhere.
